One of the wild pets that will be capturable via the Pet Battles. Found around Sindragosa's Fall in Icecrown. Currently showing as capturable via the tracker, but not able to interact with them for a battle.

Commentaire de Cariea

Pet Journal info reads:

Kel'Thuzad once nursed a plague-infected whelp to adulthood, feeding it only the finest liquefied remains.

Commentaire de Arjayemm

Now that MoP has gone live these are level 22 battle pets.

Commentaire de evilmegan

I've spent a lot of time looking for one of these guys with no luck. I imagine it has something to do with phasing since I faction changed and now don't have all the quests done. Anyone have any idea what quests need to be done for the area these guys spawn?

Commentaire de shintorg

Been flying around the fall on a character that has done everything in ICC and no spawns of Scourged whelpling. Not sure why not.

Commentaire de magison501

Yeah, I haven't seen a single spawn, I have loremaster so I don't think it's a phasing issue. I'm giving up for now.

Commentaire de Sykoo

Been flying around for almost 3 hours waiting for a spawn to pop up and so far nothing. Was hoping to get Northrend Safari done today but it doesn't look like I will now :(

Commentaire de aznar

I found this little guy today. But he appears to be a very rare spawn as only one was up. I got him at night, I don't believe I've done any quests in the zone.

Commentaire de Undreadll

I guess I got lucky. I was just flying around the Sindragosa's Fall area and was able to find 3 spawns, all 3 of which popped one-by-one after my first flyby. The third being a rare, woot!

The weird thing is that the Scourged Whelpling is the only whelpling that is not a flying pet (it stays grounded while you're on a flying mount and airborne).

Commentaire de tiggerbox29

Does phasing interfere with the spawning of these mobs?

Because if i fly on a fp to the argent tournament grounds there seems to be loads of them about but when go back there they seem to disappear this is very frustrating

Commentaire de bobbigmac

Camped Sindragosa's Fall and Silent Vigil one and off for a couple of days and didn't see a single spawn. I logged immediately after server maintenance and the whole area was teeming with them, 4 battles later and got a rare.Location confirmed Sindragosa's Fall and Silent Vigil, very long spawn timer.

Commentaire de darkthorgoth

tho i DO remember the first 2 days of MOP singragosa's fall was FULL of whelping but by the time my battle pets were lvl 7-8 or something so was not able to capture them..now they seem to be gone from the area...have not seen anyone for more than 2 days of camping...

Commentaire de Opilat

Can't find it... I simply cannot find it! spent several hours of several days trying, just not there! even tried wasting EVERYTHING at sindragosa's fall 4 times in hope that might help.. still nothing. battled more cockroaches than i care to think of to try and force a spawn! still not helping.. if anyone knows a spawn time on these guys or a way of making em spawn, please reply to this :-D cheers :-D

EDIT: finally found one 8:23 AM on Silvermoon (EU) found it at the south end of Sindragosa's fall at cord. 72.48, hope it helps some of you that are looking for it. Mine was sadly only Poor, but i got the achivement non the less.

Commentaire de Hetel

Found many of them in the morning when I logged in around 8 am server time. Yesterday I camped all day, never saw even one of them. Now, in the morning - they were everywhere!

For now I'll be happy with an uncommon one since I need to hurry - it had 1238hp. The common one had 1142hp.

So if you're out of luck, try mornings if you have to wake up and be somewhere ;)

Commentaire de Pikachoodle

AAARGH!On the flight path over to the crusader place I saw a ton of these pop up on the map. When I fly there myself they're all gone. Nobody else is here either. Must be some phasing crap. :/

Commentaire de wyrdsister

Finally found two commons after the server maintenance today. After Camping the sight for nearly a week, checking back at different times, on different characters in various stages of quests in Icecrown, I never saw any until after the server resets. It is unfortunate that the ONLY time you can find some of these more rare pets is to be the first to log on after maintenance/server reset. Not everyone can log on EXACTLY at that time, and if that is the only way to get some of those pets it seems a bit unfair. Not to mention Cruel to those camping and wasting their time if the Only spawn after the server resets.

Commentaire de StormFlower

I've just come to Sindragosa's Fall and I have spotted a few of these little undead dragons flying around. It is 12:30am server time.

Commentaire de Siella

Been fruitlessly camping for what has become my O.C.D. ridden Missing Link obsession to acquire Battle Pet since 1st few days MOP went live.....log off.....log in.......fly around....nothing

All different times of the day, night etc.....nothing

My Realm is Velen on U.S. servers and today we had the 15 min. rolling restarts at 1:00 E.S.T. and I exited game, then it hit me....The only time I never had tried as of yet to get this Scaled Little Hiding Devil of a Dragonkin was immediately after one of these restarts.

I logged into my Belf Hunter thats been camping Sindragosa's Fall and Silent Vigil and she was located flying over Silent Vigil.

I began to fly towards Sindragosa's Fall and there it was The Absolute Best Looking Green Paw that had ever popped up on my Mini Map...after almost passing out from shock I rapidly nosedived towards that paw.... all the while paranoid someone else will engage it before I did.......WHEW...much to my Uber Happiness no one did and as a HUGE added surprise this little King of never showing up ended up being a Rare.

The paw popped up right at edge of Mountainside where flat ground begins in Sindragos's Fall (where all the bad guys are walking around amidst the Frozen Whelplings).Today is a Great Day!

Hope every one else thats trying will be as fortunate as I finally was, guess the server restart was the trick.

Commentaire de FinalAngel

New pet rarity upgrade stones have been announced for the next patch, I would not bother farming for rares on these guys and leave some for other people who don't have any.

I asked the GM's about this and got this response:

This is the latest response from Customer Support: *Suddenly there is a large bang and a cloud of dark smoke billows from a small crater in front of you. A Gnome coughs her way out of the smoke brushing soot off her shoulders*

Hail and Well Met! *Curtsey*

Lady Game Master Curminhilden here and I hope this message finds you well. ^_^

Thank you for contacting Blizzard Entertainment Customer Support. I apologize for the wait, we are busily helping with the parting of the Mists. We are working diligently to address all requests and petitions in a timely fashion and appreciate your patience. <3

I just got a chance to read over your ticket about an issue you experienced recently with the Scourged Whelpling. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this has caused you in the meantime. As a Engineering Gnome I know how irritating bugs can be to game play. We have had reports on this from other players as well and our Quality Assurance team is currently investigating it. Thank you VERY much for all the information you included in your petition; it will be extremely helpful in their investigation! <3

Since we as Game Master are unable to make changes to the game our goal with player reports about bugs like these is to make sure our Quality Assurance and Development teams are well aware of the issue and are working towards a fix. We want the game to work just as smoothly as our players do too!

I would like to introduce you to my friend and robot, Chompers. He helps me process these bug reports and he even follows around our Quality Assurance and Development teams until they look into fixing situations such as this!

Let me just give this to Chompers, he will pass on your information to our Quality Assurance team, who are attempting to reproduce the issue. Once they have done so, they will forward their findings to our Development Team, who will then determine a fix, and apply it to the game as soon as possible.

*Chompers eyes begin to glow red as he processes the report.*

I also wanted to let you know about our new system which you can get these directly to the QA team!

We implemented a new system to make reporting these bugs even easier for you! To report a bug to our QA team, all you need to do is click on the red question mark on your bottom menu bar, then find the "Submit Bug" button (with a picture of a little blue bug next to it). This button will bring you to a text window where you can describe exactly what was going on when this happened. Please try to be as descriptive as possible so they have some good information to start working on (a little more information than "this quest is bugged!1!" please). These reports get sent directly to our Quality Assurance team for investigation, so they can start on them right away!

*Chompers eyes fade from red back to blue and says "Bug report submission accepted." Chomper's rocket boosters begin to power on and he shoots into the sky to seek out the Quality Assurance team.*

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about this issue, and I hope you have a great rest of your day! *Curtsey*

*Curminhilden steps back into the plume of smoke. There is a large sucking sound and all the smoke disappears along with that strange little Gnome.*

Commentaire de JodiLane

Does anyone know if having not done all the quests in Icecrown would make these Scourged Whelplings not show up? I'm on my main, NE Hunter and I did not complete all the quests here--so I'm wondering if that is playing into why I see zero of these here...I really want one! They're neat!

Commentaire de Purno

I've scouted the area with my alt who didn't have quests done in Icecrown and didn't see any spawn. Just to be sure, I logged my main, who completed all quests, and scouted the area again. Still no spawns. So I guess that doesn't make much difference.

While I was on my main I did see another player scouting the area, I didn't see him on my alt. That's probably a phasing thing. But just because I don't see him, doesn't mean he isn't there competing for the same pets as I do, I guess.

Commentaire de Ezmerilda

As of 10/15/12 I have been camping this guy over 2 weeks on and off.

I have been through about 7 server restarts.I have collected 11 stacks of Icethorn, almost 10 stacks of lichbloom, 6 stacks of crystalized life and 2 stacks of fel lotus.I have logged on all hours of morning noon and night. Stayed on for almost 6 hours straight waiting for one to pop and yet to see one of these little guys.

Where are you little guys!

Commentaire de Fuligyne

I found 10-12 of them this morning (monday, 8:30). I guess Blizzard changed their rarity.I finished all quests there, so this is an "endgame" phasing.By the way, _npcscan is useless there : yesterday there were non of them but it kept warning me, I guess they were in another phase.

Commentaire de Aqulia

Spent the past 4 days camping this lil guy...I tried everything from logging out and in, getting invites from people from other realms, zoning out and back in......nothing worked. So I camped im for 4 straight days at 18 hrs per day. NOTHING. Just got this lil guy at 12 p.m. server (my server is pacific time so it's 2 hrs behind me) and all's I did was my regular routine of flying from Dalaran to the Argent Tourny grounds. So don't give up! Cross realm zones will irritate you, but you'll get it......patience and persistence!

Commentaire de bunnietenou

I just caught mine at 2pm. I was just doing my tourny dailies and saw one. I was like O.o...... ~mine~

Anyways no one was around. I didnt find a rare but i did get two uncommons and there were about 6 poor. Keep checking everyone! We might not need restarts for this anymore!

~happy dances~

Commentaire de Schadenfreude

Got mine today after a restart (logged into WoW in the middle of class... heh heh) after camping on and off-- I hadn't been camping these for as long as, say, the minfernal and I didn't see players that often, but I've heard that this pet is a bit of a white whale like the minfernal so I gave it a go.

I very highly recommend waiting for a restart, and plenty of the whelps will be up-- my server wasn't even in the first wave of servers up and is PVP to boot-- but please be considerate and only take one, or alt+f4 out of battles where the whelp is less than your desired rarity. There are tons of people trying to fill their collection and there will be upgrade stones in 5.1.

Commentaire de VtvViperX

Just like the minfernal in felwood... you have to kill the mobs in the area and maybe some of the critters to get these to spawn. May take some time like the minfernals but that is how they spawned in beta and how i just got one since i was sitting for about a hour with no sign of them.

Commentaire de Katstorm

I just logged in after the nightly server reset and saw a few scourged whelplings near the Silent Vigil. I battled one and happened to be lucky enough to catch a rare.

Commentaire de Drarion

Anyone that can confirm the 15.6 , 56.6 spawn?

Commentaire de TherealThrux

I got one of these this morning. After several weeks of waiting. I must say, it is surprisingly weak. It dies from pets 3 times lower then itself. It's nice to have as a vanity pet, but it isn't very good for battles.

Commentaire de Skeksil

Even with a server reboot, don't expect these to be all that common -- I logged in ASAP this morning after restart, saw no other players, and still could only find three over a widespread area in Sindragosa's Rest (extreme north and south of the pit).

Commentaire de Danzels

If you are like me and have lots of otherwise unused alts, fly one them out to Icecrown and keep them there. You can potentially do this with two or more alts if you have some on other realms, which is what I did. Anyhow, I find camping to be pointless, so rather than waste hours AFK, I just log in randomly when I run out of stuff to do and sweep the area. It took a couple days, but eventually I found two of them up. Thankfully the first one was rare, so I left the other one up as a courtesy to others.

Commentaire de JodiLane

I have a feeling some of these wild pets are actually going to be rare spawns or somewhat rare meaning that maybe just one spawns at a time...similar to the Fel Flame. I still haven't seen any of these Scourged Whelplings UNLESS I'm on a flight path in to Argent Tournie...ugh.

Commentaire de vic6string

I tried the server reset thing a couple of times, but my server (Bonechewer US) is notorious for being one of the last ones to come up after a reset. Thanks to CRZ, I always got there after these guys were all taken. So I parked a lvl 80 alt there and checked it occasionally. I would pop in and hang out for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour...sometimes killing the NPCs in the area, sometimes only killing one of the NPC types.... in other words, I tried everything. Nothing ever seemed to work, I never saw one, and neither did any of the other campers I would run into and talk to.

This morning, however, i was just flying around for a while, and I saw one (Monday, 5:45 am server time). I engaged it, and it was an uncommon. I won the pet battle (too close, due to not having the right pet setup, as I was not expecting to see it.. I had my lvl 9 baby ape as my first pet). When I came out of the battle, though, I saw more..... MANY MORE! It appears that when these guys spawn, they spawn as a group (I counted at least 20). This was NOT after a server reset (I had been playing for over an hour before this). No messages about CRZ reset either...just a random spawn of about 2 dozen. So if you are not one of those people that has the opportunity to get on during a server reset, you still have a shot at this guy!

I engaged 2 more to get my rare (I know, it was greedy, but I worked for this one!), then I went to Org on another alt to announce it. Within about 3 minutes of my announcement, they were all gone.

Commentaire de wilosoft

I just caught 2 rares in a row, I had 2 previously common & uncommon, the second rare I encountered I logged off during the fight, logged back released the common & caught the rare! the place was full of them & I even wrote in /1 for people to come catch them but none were in icecrown :D it was exactly at 6:45AM server time :)

Note: I was in CRZ

Commentaire de cocofx85

i found mine today 11/09/12 around 330pm realm time at 74, 40 cords. there were no resets of any kind. he was the only one flying there.

Commentaire de Baldulf

Does anyone know if these share spawn points with anything? There aren't any critters in these areas that I've seen. Has anyone tried slaughtering the Frostbrood Whelps to force spawns?

All I lacked in the beta for Northrend Safari was Arctic Fox Kit, so I'm pretty sure I caught one of these fairly easily then (unless they didn't exist in beta). I have yet to see ONE spawn on live, and I've been checking at all hours of the day for weeks. I'm on the same character I used to cap Northrend pets in the beta, too, so I don't think it's a phasing issue.

Commentaire de IhaveNoLife

I just caught a poor quality whelp after a server restart. It was the only one left up in Silent Vigil. I checked my alt camped out for the Minfernal and every single one of them had already been taken. So just a warning for those of you waiting for server restarts to pick up the pets with a less frequent spawn timer, try to decide which one is the most desirable, because you'll probably only have time to pick up one.

Commentaire de Neiji

After reading all comments here I decided to check Sindragosa's Fall one last time before going to bed and voila, the place was full of em. At least 5 whelplings had shown up.

Was around 6.12 am server time.

Edit: First one was uncommon and then I found a rare.

Commentaire de kirby411

I found more than 10 Scourged Whelping at 7:30am on EU-Cataclysm crossrealmzone, with 1 rare and 3 uncommons.

Good luck!

Commentaire de Equeon

About 9 or 10 of these were up right after a server reset. Although they will be given more legitimate "spawn timers," not affected by restarts or maintenance, like most other rare mobs after 5.1, until then your best bet is to log in right after maintenance ends.

Commentaire de Aquifel

Ive been dual camping the Main Spawn area (Sindragosa's Fall/Silent Vigil) and the 15.6/56.6 point for kicks. I only leave it on about 12 hours a day while i do other things, there is zero competion in the 15/56 point and i have seen absolutely zero spawns here (and only 1 other person during this time), Sin/Vigil area is HEAVILY camped, almost as bad as minfernal. I have not seen the whelpling at all since i started camping, however i have heard of a single fellow camper catching it while i was camping it (probably one or 2 more on opposite faction). I have not been able to catch the server restarts, but have heard from several friends that they fought 5-10 by themselves and most of them got rares at this time.

Killing non-pet battle mobs in the area does not seem to have an immediate effect on spawns (Including the flying wyrms, i had a theory that they were similar to diemtradon hatchlings in that they spawned with their 'mothers', but no luck with that method yet), and wiping the area of other pet battle mobs seems to only spawn more cockroaches in adjacent areas. The only thing i can think of that i haven't tried is checking for multiple phases of Sindragosa's Fall, i'm working an alt through icecrown quests to see if anything happens, but no changes so far.

In my opinion, the 15/56 point is just bugged wowhead data, but, i would very much like to hear from anyone who has seen one there. Also, i don't believe the scourged whelpling is tied to anything else in terms of its spawning, i think it is just horribly long.

Commentaire de Cheshin

This morning I started my search for a Scourged Whelpling, I first moved my alt to a low Populated server and parked at Sindragosa's Fall to camp, there were no active spawns at all. I was messing about for 10 minutes moving alts to the Minfernal camping spots also I then logged on to my main character on a Medium population server to also check and found a full wave of around 6-9 of them active, around 10am UK time, I managed to catch one then checked my first character alt, I found 3 active spawns also. I am unsure whether it's pot luck but the spawns seemed to be relatively close, first server was a Medium Population, second was Low Population. So you don't need to wait until server reset to see a wave of them as confirmed to those who feel a bit deterred waiting, park alts on Low/Medium Population servers and check back every so often! Do the same for other rares also :) I did not kill anything in the area either at all. Best of luck, hope this information at least perks those up who are struggling to believe they exist :)

All the best,

Cheshin

I've been checking for this pet for two months a couple times daily, and never ever even saw one. Just did one of my daily cruises through the area and there were FOUR of them up. I got a common quality one, the others were snatched up immediately. This was on a Sunday afternoon around 3:30 pm realm time. No idea why there were suddenly some available, but I think luck plays a huge part in it. Really frustrating.

ETA: All four of the spawns were very close to the Tournament grounds, just around where the road leads into it.

TL;DR - The Daily Respawn Theory has helped several users catch Jeune dragonnet flaellé and Minfernal,and the newest spawn-timer info has been added to this post.Another trick to try is using the RPPVP realms.Finally, "Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around" might help you if you can't log in @ the respawn time or can't create an RPPVP Chevalier de la mort.(last updated: 2013/02/18)Note: This comment could not exist without the help of fellow Wowheaders.

1. The Daily Respawn TheorySecond, I would like to state that it is my understanding that this information may apply to Minfernal as well.(Please reply below confirming or refuting this second statement.)

Telvoso said:I wanted to share my experience with the community on this week's Scourged Whelpling hunting.

I rushed home from work this week when I found out server maintenance had been delayed. I made it home just in time. The servers came up 5 min. after I got home. I had logged in and was watching the realm list for mine to come up. When they did I logged into my alt. parked at the tournament grounds in Icecrown (for the pet daily). There were a bunch of the whelps up of course. Myself and a few others cleared them out but no rares to be found.

I got off work the next day and tried a theory I had. I went straight to my alt. in Icecrown and waited a few minutes to see if any whelps would spawn. Right at the time the servers went up the prior day the whelps spawned. They came in small batches over the course of 10-15 minutes. At least a dozen total I'd say.

I made sure to be home at the same time for the next 2 days and experienced the same thing each day. Respawns 24 hours later in small waves over the course of 10-15 min.

Finally, yesterday, I snagged a rare. Very exciting. Only 4 more pets that can be upgraded to rare from pet battles to go!

Update: This seems to be working! ;)goldash quoted this post and posted ↓this↓ under it 30 hours after my original post! :)

Tested 24hours after a reset and there were respawns 4am servers must have come up the day before after a restart and 4am the respawns began, seemed to be for about 15minutes. Thanks for the info I got a common and a uncommon. I also did my bit and logged my character out during a battle for each pet that I didn't want so that the pet respawned for the next person.

Can confirm this theory is working as of 1/22/13... Fair to note: Even if the server came up at EXACTLY 11am PST it's worth it to be there earlier. In my case, they began spawning around 10:30. Better early and waiting for spawns than late and having no spawns.

Newest Spawn Timer InfoThere are two types of restarts: Server Restarts and Cross-Realm Restarts. These seem to occur more-or-less back to back. Lately, it appears that the Jeune dragonnet flaellé always respawns after the CRZ restarts, but may or may not respawn after Server Restarts.As far as I can tell, this has little effect on the Daily Respawn Theory. If you check back (24hrs/48hrs/72hrs/etc) after the restart, these little puppies should be there.(Special thanks to: Rossilynn and blkdeath75 for their comments and to Navimie for her blog.)Last Updated: 2012/12/25

2013/02/13 - The rumor-mill claims that Blizz is updating the spawn timers for Jeune dragonnet flaellé in patch 5.2. We'll just have to wait and see what happens with these. (Special thanks to: dasbaum)

Tip if you want one of these. The Venture Company on US, does not have CRZ it's a rppvp realm.

I got this tip from warcraftpets.com

1. Create a dk and do the 1st 3 to 5 quests, just enough to fly down to the ground where the scarlet mobs are. 2. Fight mobs until you get 2 gold (five minutes tops). 3. Mail 2 gold to a Level 1 character. 4. Log Level 1 and take Zep/boat to Northrend, then take the the 2 gold flight to Dalaran. 5. Next to the flight master in Dalaran, there is an Argent Ambassador. He will give you a free flight to the Argent tournament grounds. 6. Take the short run to the Silent vigil area and tame your whelp.

May want to do this before 5.2 when they change respawn time.

Everytime I go in that area I see anywhere from 3 to 5. Yes, you will die often, so try to find one in an area without a bunch of mobs. Good luck.

Gempalm said:How do you account for the fact that you're a level 1 trapsing around level 80 mobs when looking for a whelp?

Thank you for your reply. PinkiePie24 admitted that "you will die often." I think I would choose to use the D.K. to catch the whelp, but there may be some reason I'm forgetting as to why this would not be possible or else would be a bad idea.

As an alternative, likier suggests creating an RPPVP toon to get a high-level friend's Real ID, then having them invite your MAIN toon into a group. (This should pull your main out of that nasty CRZ mess.)

3. Click here for Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around(Note: The previous CRZ Work-Around comment was deleted due to negative feedback.I have since learned that it actually does help if done right.The details are in the new comment linked above.)

Current Conclusions:1. The Daily Respawn Theory works and will help you catch these! :)2. Creating an RPPVP Death Knight also works well.3. If you don't like either of those options, Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around can help too

They should have looked like the frostbrood whelps flying around that area, much cooler model imo.

Commentaire de rivanzeke

so maybe someone can shed some light here - I've done this with several characters on different realms. I take a fp from dalaran to the tournament grounds and on the way there I'll pass over 7 or 8 green paws showing as scourged whelpling. when I rush down to the spots I saw the whelplings, there's nothing there to tame. the fp back to dalaran shows no whelplings either. I'm assuming this is some sort of cross realm issue, so I asked a friend to invite me to their group - no dice. has anyone found a way around this issue?

Commentaire de ClopinWrynn

Spent almost a week camping this pet on two different servers, checking in several times a day at different times on both servers with no luck. Nov 21, spent about 4 hours flying around Sindragosa's Fall/Silent Vigil, from 1:40 am to 5:45 am, with absolutely no luck. Decided to give it another 15 min before calling it quits for the night, which turned out to be a good idea. As soon as it hit 6 am server time, these started spawning. First one I caught was poor, second was uncommon, then I left figuring I'd leave any others for someone else to grab. Quite an interesting phenomenon that at 6am on the dot the whelplings started spawning. Not sure if it was just my luck or if this is an actual spawn time for them, but I'd say give it a shot if you're up at that ungodly hour. Captured on my Nelf hunter Taanipu Uldaman, though I have no idea what server I was actually on courtesy of CRZ.

Commentaire de spingus

Teleported to the Argent Tourney grounds to check out the snow situation in Storm Peaks. On the way I found two spawns of Scourged Whelpling adjacent to Quel'delar's Rest. The one I challenged was green.

This was at 2:48pm server time on a Sunday afternoon with no resets in the previous 48 hours (yes I was on most of that time).

edit:

In the time it took me to post this note another spawned just south of the previous two ~2:58pm

I had been checking Silent Vigil/Sindragosa's Fall almost daily (2-4 times a day) for many weeks and I periodically visited this page to see if any new tips had been posted. I recently read someone's post that said they got their whelpling when it was NOT a server restart (which I am unable to camp, as well as being on the &*!@e end of CRZ nonsense anyway) so I used it as encouragement to ALWAYS check my alt parked in Icecrown when I'm logging into the game, no matter what. I almost didn't do it today, but I thought "ehh it's just 30 seconds, whatever" and I saw one glorious green paw on my map - right in front of me! Poor quality shmoor quality, this thing is RARE in my eyes :] I thought I was hallucinating.

The coords were around 75.68, 36.03 (right above the "O" in "Sindragosa's") in Silent Vigil. It was 3:43pm PST (local time, didn't notice the current realm time) and there was not just a server reset. There were also no other spawns and no one else camping at the time, so this was just meant to be for me! If you can stand it, just keep checking regularly and eventually you will get one of these for yourself. Good luck!

i think there might be a phasing issue with this pet

as i was taking the flightpath from Dalaran to Argent Tournament, i saw many Scourged Whelplings

but when i ran back to the Sindragosa's Fall, none were to be found

Commentaire de Deathegg

The one critter keeping me from my northrend acheive is this one. I believe this one's spawn timer corrolates to my birthday: once every year. Sigh....

Commentaire de blamlock

Just a note with regards the sub-zone - these pets can spawn near Sindragosa's Fall and Silent Vigil as mentioned, but they can and do spawn in the surrounding areas where the zone might simply revert to "Icecrown". Keep an eye out in these areas too!

Keybinding a macro that simply says "/tar sco" and hitting it while you're flying around - was a big help for me too.

Commentaire de Nolapete

Prior to 11/17/2012, I had only seen a total of 4 spawns and as many others have said, this was right after a restart and tons of people camping.

On 11/17/2012 I was up helping my wife with the baby and took a chance logging on a 7 am when I was done to check for whelplings. I hardly expected to find what I did; it must have been an entire spawn of them, at least 15-20 and they were all mine.

Up until this time, I had only captured one poor quality, but now I was able to capture two uncommons and continue my hunt for a rare. After checking all the ones I saw up, I was about to leave and decided to make one more pass. I was content with my two uncommons, but everyone wants rare right?

After flying around looking, I spot two that must have been respawns because they weren't there before. The first wasn't rare, so I forfeited to check the other and voila it was RARE! I found him a little ways out at 73.30, 49.19.

Love me some Dreadful Breath!

Commentaire de Jeolene

So, I'm wondering if these are a morning/afternoon spawn. I can't say for sure, but I got up for work and jumped on to find these hanging around all over the place, that was about 11am (10am realm time). The only reason I wonder about this is because any time I've been checking has always been after 5pm all the way to about 4am, but the one time I log in earlier and I find them all over, maybe just lack of people farming, but on two realms I hardly ever seen anyone looking for them, might be something to check out and verify :D

I can confirm that exactly 10:01 am server time these guys spawned. I got a uncommon one and stopped there. :) good luck!

So, I'm sure all of you avid pet collectors have atleast by now heard about some of the super rare battle pets, including Minfernal and Scourged Whelpling.

Just by the fact that they both reside on a crossrealm zone means that the competetion will be heavy, and the few pets that spawn each day wont be there longer than 10 seconds.

But, I found a way to get around it! Apparently, if you get invited by someone from another realm, you get transported to their realm.That means, that the crossrealm feature wont be active, and you're basically alone in your own instanced version of the realm (unless someone else gets invited to that realm aswell)

I camped Minfernal and Scourged Whelping for days, and after doing this trick I got them both back to back the moment I flied in the areas!

Both images within 10min of each other, the zones were filled with both pets.Coincidence? Nope.

Good way to get these cross-realm invites is making a macro saying something like:"Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with a thing. Just add my Btag and invite my main - takes only 20 seconds, you lose nothing and I'd be forever grateful. Thanks!Rare battle pets SUPER FAST AND EASY! - OwnedCore Forums

Realm “Hopping” by Changing Party Leaders

While it might sound like fun to go exploring in other realms by changing party leaders, this was not intended, and allowed some players to take advantage of bosses such as the Darkmoon Rabbit and challenges such as the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. As such, we’ve made a fix that will stop groups from being able to do this.Blizzard Update on Cross-Realm Zones

All things considered, I think entering the CRZ then having a guildie invite you back to your home realm might be your best bet.

Commentaire de m0000o

I think the spawn rate may have been improved. I've been hanging around the area quite a lot over the last couple of days questing and looking for rares etc. They seem to be up quite a lot. I saw 6 up at one time. I've been playing early hours of the morning on oceanic realm (most of the oceanic realms seem to be in the same CRZ).

Commentaire de sirinad

This is currently the only Undead pet that has Humanoid attacks. The reason this is important is that means that this pet has attacks that do extra damage to Dragons and it also takes less damage from Dragons. That being said, this is only minimally helpful as few Dragons use purely Dragon-based attacks (usually using a mixture of Dragon and some other element), and Scourged Whelp's spammable Humanoid attack isn't particularly strong. Still, if running into issues with a Dragon enemy, this is something to consider.

Commentaire de Rathinar

Dear GOD. I have wasted the last 8 hours of my life waiting on one, just one of these to spawn. I'm friggin numb. removed

**Edit**Ok, I'm assuming that these guys were spawned at server reset yesterday at 3pm Pacific (assuming because I wasn't logged in at that time). This afternoon I finally saw them respawn at approximately 3:20 Pacific. The daily respawn idea appears to be true.(##RESPBREAK##)12##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##Keep your analogies clean please.

Commentaire de ninjamike76

I cannot get one of these to spawn on my realm ever! (Blackwater Raiders) I am so tired of this cross zone crap I could puke. It has done nothing but cause problems with the whole pet spawning system in my opinion. Get rid of a lot of realms and just bring them together into one realm. Join lower pop. servers and get rid of some dead weight. It isn't rocket science Blizzard, just suck it up and effing do it. Lazy ^%#@$.

Commentaire de Iconyx

I started recording the pets I engaged in a spreadsheet. Out of 585 pets battled, 48% were poor quality, 24% were common quality, 24% were uncommon quality, and 4% were rare. This means that, on average, for pets that only occur once per wild pet group (like Jeune dragonnet flaellé) you are more than likely to find a rare quality pet only after having engaged 17 different groups. At that point, the odds are in your favor, but there's still no guarantee you'll have found a rare.

For the sake of everyone else trying to capture pets that operate on a frustratingly-long spawn timer, just capture one and upgrade it. Don't clear an entire zone trying to find a rare in the wild.

After looking for this pet for 4 days I finally found one lonely little whelpling around 430am server time. Uncommon quality.

I checked on and off for this pet for about 2 days, was never there. Immediately after a server restart today 2 had spawned. Managed to snag one. Doesn't seem like anymore are spawning after that.

Commentaire de HyperJCT

Sadly at server restart there were none there. I was one of the first people back online, and out of the 20 people who had camped there, none of us got one. 2 weeks of searching every few hours isn't paying off, looks like it's time to start week 3.

Commentaire de Bethia85

Had to make an account just to tell people.Had no luck finding this on 3 servers, so at the server restart I was there waiting for them. There was quite a few of us waiting for them.Logged in and saw lots of them. I tagged the closest not caring about the quality as I was lucky to be able to get one at all, and the one and only that I tagged was a rare!

Commentaire de Rossilynn

So after reading everyone's suggestions on how to obtain this pet I decided to wait until a server restart, which was a cross server restart. I did also however continue to check the area for pets at different points in the day. Before our servers restart this morning I headed out to the area with the restart at about 11 minutes, when an announcement was made that our (low populated) server was also being restarted. I circled the area and found nothing. While waiting people were talking in general, we had one person bragging how they farmed every rare in Northrend and next he was going after the Scourged Whelpling. A few of us told him if it wasn't rare log out so someone trying to find any quality pet may get this pet instead. He basically told us that that wasn't going to happen. With one minute left until the restart wouldn't you know that they all started respawning, I was able to click onto one of them to start battling, and with the trap missing 3 to 4 times there was no way I was going to finish the battle. I finally am able to log back on between cross server restart and our servers restart with 30 seconds left. The pets were all up from what I could tell. From the time my server restarted and being able to log back in everyone from the cross realm servers took every one of these pets. VERY frustrating, especially with someone just looking for a rare. Please be respectful of other players! And if you are looking for rares with a spawn timer similar to these guys log out if it isn't a rare so someone else can have a chance at this pet.

Commentaire de timmygo

Ok, i had virtually zero luck looking for this little guy until today. Ive tried server restarts and random other times when im not at work. From everythign ive gathered and put together, they spawn on a set timer and are part of a bucket spawn. This means that they spawn at a certain time and when they are captured they are done until the next spawn. I logged in at 1030 am server. (This is important because of cross realm). Did my daily pet battle at the tamer, thinking ill never get the scourged whelp so ill dissapoint myself later. Flew down to sindragosas fall and there were dozens of them up. I actually managed to get a rare of both breeds.

Commentaire de blkdeath75

These will DEFINITELY respawn after any cross realm restarts. I went because I saw one coming in chat and had a regular server restart as well counting down 2 minutes behind it. As soon as the cross realm restarted it kicked everyone from Icecrown, I spam logged back in to see 3-4 right under where I was hovering. By the time the battle was started I had 45 seconds to my realm restart counting down. I capped the whelp, killed 1 and just barely killed the second pet as my realm went down.

I threw a fit thinking I didn't make it in time, but was extremely happy to see him in my collection after the realm came back up. It was a common but who cares! Also a note, as soon as my realm restarted I looked around and didn't see even one. I asked in general chat and said I got one but other CRZ'ers said they never saw any at all(weird), but I know they were there cause I got it.

Definitely a heart stopper!

Commentaire de WizzardlordUK

Best way to camp these is sit on the rock & ask friends/guild mates for there Real ID get them to invite you to a different realm (preferbaly lower populated ones, if you can get them to make a toon on a low populated one).

Commentaire de Deathrime

since the last patch logging out and logging back in will not work on trying to abandon a non rare battle pet for someone else to try to capture. I had used the method many times myself, however I did notice that a few days ago when I logged back in the pet was gone. Tried the method a few more times to confirm my thoughts. It does not work anymore.

Commentaire de rogermw

Just because I haven't seen this particular question in these comments yet:

Do the Scourged Whelplings EVER appear as "second" or "third" pets in the battle, if you battle one of the cockroaches in Icecrown?

Commentaire de Burntoastftw

Not sure if this is 100% but it worked for me today while hunting this little bugger.

The CRZ is madness and that's all I will say about that because I can rant on this for days but I digress. When flying from Dalaran to Argent Tournament Grounds, Sindragosa's Fall is always littered with them. Once landing, the phasing begins and presto! the fields are now empty :/

I read on another pet post about making a "/tar (insert name)" macro and binding it to a hotkey. While in taxi, (and pet is highlighted) click the "interact" key. This supposedly fights the CRZ phasing and engages with the pet once the taxi has landed. I did not test this out until today.

Flying from Dal to Tourney Grounds, once I made it over Sindragosa's Fall I used my hotkey on the field of whelps. Once I landed, I wasout of range to keep the whelp highlighted. However to my surprise when I made it the location where I had targeted the whelp while in taxi, there was my pet!

Not sure if it will work (ever again) or at all but hey, anything is worth a try.

Happy Hunting!

Commentaire de mytherandir

I kept flying over the place for a month and found nothing. So on monday morning (31-12-12) I woke up early to see if there are any up. It was 7 am and again nothing. Around 7:30 I checked 1 more time before going back to bed and I found 2 of poor quality. Around 7:58 another spawned and it was an uncommon one and I was happy with that. Will use a stone to make it a rare I guess.

But this shows that they do spawn at different times and not just with the server reset.

Keep trying and you'll find one.

Good luck everyone!

Commentaire de kc4vdx

If your seeing this mob as you fly in and then it's no longer there when you go back, your experiencing ***cross realm*** effects. Initially you were seeing what was available on just your world but once you land your in cross realm land where everyone is looking for the same mob you are.

Today I flew over the spawn area from Dalaran to the Argent Tournament grounds with a flightmaster.When I flew over I saw alot of scourged whelpling spawns,but I couldn't land because I wason the mount to the argent tournament. When I landed I turned back to fight some pets, ALL GONE! Wtf?I didn't see other ppl there. Seems bugged to me.

Commentaire de wowv

Guys to freak you all out do the following:

Go to Dalaran and take a bird from the flight master to the tournament grounds...and just watch your mini-map when you fly over Sindragosa's Fall...

I see at least 4 spawned every time, can even click them..but when you land at TG and go back they are gone...

When you do the same with your own mount, you will not see them.If you start from tournament grounds to Dalaran, you will not see them.

Personally i think these babies are available in one of the phases of the zone, so I just started leveling one of my alts up to be able to do quests in the zone again, and figure out in which phase they are available.

Commentaire de Gershuun

About 5 of these spawned at about 10:30am server time for me so check at about that time.

Commentaire de Bloodpan

Just 1 real quick question. Why does everyone submit closeups only? Why is there not a picture from a outward view of the mobb or anything else to help identify what to look for? Just wondering.

Commentaire de Jturnero

Here to confirm they spawn after rolling restart. Server Shu-halo, after restart this morning at 5:14 server, 8:14 for me 'cus I live on east coast I fly up from Dalaran. I see what seems like 10 of them. First is poor and second is uncommon. All the time watching people fly in and devour these whelps quicker than a bear devours honey. By the time I finish second battle there are no more to be found, which is perfectly fine b/c I would have been happy with the poor. I can not confirm yet that they are on 24 hour spawn timer, I will come back and edit my comment tomorrow letting you know my findings.

EDIT: So I went back this morning at 8:15 and there were about a dozen of them up. I have an uncommon so I left them for others. Now that I know how they spawn I can wait until after 5.2 to grab my rare. Supposedly at that point you will be able to exit battle with out battle pet disappearing which will be nice b/c I hate wasting a battle pet someone else can get, especially ones that are so hard to find.

So needless to say although my sample size is small I am pretty sure these spawn on 24 hour timer or at least a multiple of 24, i.e. 6 or 12 hours. Uprate this so everyone will know how to get one of these beautiful pets. Happy Hunting :)

Commentaire de Iconyx

I searched Sindragosa's Fall 30+ times over the past 2 months at various times of day for durations of 3-10 minutes. Never saw a single one.

Server AND Cross-Realm Zone reset at 8AM EST yesterday, 1/8/13, still wasn't able to find any between 8:05AM and 8:15AM.

Nothing revolutionary, just adding to the body of evidence that suggests CRZ/Server resets +24hrs are the key to catching this elusive beast.

Commentaire de Zharon

Interesting. I just see a post made 2 minutes before I started typing this one.

It is 8:28 AM EST here and as I was flying back from the argent tourney to Dalaran, I noticed TONS of these. (no, I was not flying on a flight path, I always mount up and fly back)

Could these perhaps be set to spawn around 8-8:30 AM server time?

One thing is for sure: they spawn in DROVES. With the Minfernal, you will see just 1 spawn VERY rarely. When these Whelplings spawn, they spawn en masse.

Since I already had one that I made rare with a battle stone, I just left them alone and informed people in trade chat.

EDIT: and another post from yesterday below stating that they found it at 8:14 AM EST.

I think we may have figured out when they spawn. It makes sense that they spawn after server maintenance, since the servers are normally down during this timeframe!

Commentaire de penguinsane

Logged in this morning about ... oh, 9:20AM CST on Emerald Dream and there were probably about a dozen of these little buggers up. Found my rare after my fourth one and then took off, left the rest for others.

Commentaire de Liontas

Yesterday (Jan 9th, around 19:00 server time) I took a flight from Dalaran to Argent Tournament Grounds. While I was flying I saw (in the minimap) plenty of those pets (I moused over their icons so I'm sure 100% that they were whelps). When I went back to the area (from the flight master) I found none. I moved between zones (in order to force cross realm change) many times but the result was always the same (no whelps) ....

As an aside, I got bored after days of this so I decided to kill EVERYTHING, and picked every herb, and shot all of the dragons out of the sky, and made the undead die, and the cultists die, and all of the baby welps fall and redie.

As I looked around me I saw everything come back to the way it was. The theory that killing stuff will cause a pet to spawn in it's place has therefore been disproven about this critter. I commeetted mass genocide and it just smirked and came back to it's natural mocking state!

I am a tailor, and I noticed that one pass gave me one and a half stacks of Frostweave cloth, and I had enough herbs for the Northrend Inscription Disvory for several days.

Still waiting for that welp on my level 86 monk. If you see me hovering on my Headless Horseman mount, wave hello. I may be here for awhile while testing out all of the theories in this this post.

Commentaire de Nyshah

I scouted over the area this morning before I learned it was a very rare spawn. I gave up and carried on catching other ones in Northrend. I tried my luck again this (Friday) afternoon at 14.27, using the argent tabard as transportation tool and yes, I was lucky enough to find one. A common one, but nonetheless.

Just as well my exam got cancelled this afternoon, otherwise I would have been in an exam room as opposed to checking for this pet ^.^

Commentaire de ghostwolfpup

Out of curiosity today since I learned of the way to catch the super rare Minfernal, I thought that I would check and see if you could do the same thing to catch this little guy.

I took the flight path from Wintergrasp to the Argent Tournament, and though you could fly over Sindragosa's Fall and see Scourged Whelpings, you couldn't interact with any of them. The flight path is too high off the ground for any of them. Bummer. CRZ is horrible for some of these pets!

Commentaire de Raylei

I passed over the area to check for these on my way to Storm Peaks, a few minutes before noon server time. There was nothing but I flew around Storm Peaks a bit hoping the weather would change, but alas, no. I decided to check again a few minutes after noon and there was one just south of the tournament grounds. It was a poor quality but I was happy to take it. There were no others in the area so I flew back to Storm Peaks and saw nothing so I decided to check again and found another to the south. Uncommon! So if you see only one check back a few minutes later. I saw another person enter the area searching after that so I stopped checking to let them have one if any more spawned.

If you are having a problem with this or any other rare companion, create a DK on Ravenholdt or add a person to your Real ID if you don't mind giving it out to a stranger.

Commentaire de Castor27

I've been camping these for a good while, and reading some of the "Spawns at 8:00" comments I got to thinking maybe there was something to it. Not that they spawn at 8, but what if they are on a 24 hour timer. I barely missed the server restarts yesterday, but the server I caught mine on today (Thorium Brotherhood) came up a little before 12:15 and the spawns were all gone before I could log in. So I decided to make sure I camped there today, at that time. Sure enough today I logged in at 12:00 and flew around for a while. At 12:08 there they were; a load of them spawned at once. That would explain the 8:00 spawning as being when the server came up from a restart and the following days spawning at about 24 hours later. No idea if I am completely correct but my advice would be that if you miss a server restart, note the time of the restart and try to camp a little earlier the next day.

So after my roommate told me about this, I looked up this page. Good insights. The night before xrealm reset too, so good timing! I parked at Sindragosa's Fall, and logged in early the next day. Server wasn't supposed to be up till 12pm my time, checked at 11am. Made a sandwhich, came back at 1107, and sure enough it was up, and when i got in two were right below me. Grabbed the closest one and it was a rare, first try, captured it easily. Sweet! So confirmed, xrealm reset is a good time to get them, good luck fellow pet hunters. :)

Commentaire de asbest

The second i time i took a flight from Flightmaster in Dalaran to Argent Tournament Grounds. When i was above the area i saw about 4-6 Scourged whelplings. I moused over so i could see these were the right pets to battle. When i arrived at the grounds i mounted up flew down to the area. Not a single pet. WTF? But as mentioned i SAW them just seconds before. Kinda strange.

Commentaire de volatar

EDIT: I tested this out for 2 days and I can confirm that they DO spawn 24 hours after a server reset and again 24 hours later. I missed logging on right after the servers went up this week 01/29/2013, but I went back for 2 days after and seen like 10-15 whelps each time spawn around 12:13pm EST to 12:16pm EST. No one else was around so I went until I either cleared them out or got the rare I was after. I'm not sure if maybe the CRZ was being reset at that time and it took me out of that or they were spawned while CRZ was going. No one else was around so I can't prove that part. I am on Turalyon server if that helps any.

**As I am typing this, I'm flipping back and forth between here and WoW. I'm noticing people from other servers now and I don't see any whelps. Not sure if they were picked up or CRZ possibly kicked back in and phased them out. It is 12:36pm EST when I noticed this.

I'm still working on catching this pet, but for those of you that want a fun macro to use while flying around the spawn area, you are welcome to use this one.

When one is finally up, it will target the Scourged Whelpling, mark it with a red X over its head and you will have the Headless Horseman yelling at you saying "Get over here you idiot!"

This can be used for other things by changing out the necessary parts. I just chose the cross since it is easier to see against the snow.

If you want to change the icon that it marks with, you can replace both 7's in the macro with:1 = Star2 = Circle3 = Diamond4 = Triangle5 = Moon6 = Square7 = Cross8 = Skull

Have fun with it and happy pet hunting!

Commentaire de zarrise

maybe i'm just super unlucky. i've camped this guy for a couple days 7:45 AM - 1 PM server time. popped in at random times not in the window that other people say they're spawning. i haven't seen one - ever! not even while flying over via a flight path. very discouraging!

Commentaire de Nemo74

Well I have been camping this pet for the last 18 hours with a 3 hour nap. I am on an EST server. I started at 6:30ish PM I went until 5ish AM. Took a 3 hour nap, Got back at it 8am server. At 12:40 TWO whelps spawned. 1st one was green so I took it. I did a /who and I was alone in Icecrown so I checked the other and it was grey. I was told they spawn in large groups so flew around for another 10 in and no other whelps spawned.

Not sure what any of that means, I just wanted to detail how I found it with time and amounts. I got a green, but would have been happy with grey :)

Tip if you want one of these. The Venture Company on US, does not have CRZ it's a rppvp realm.

I got this tip from warcraftpets.com

1. Create a dk and do the 1st 3 to 5 quests, just enough to fly down to the ground where the scarlet mobs are. 2. Fight mobs until you get 2 gold (five minutes tops). 3. Mail 2 gold to a Level 1 character. 4. Log Level 1 and take Zep/boat to Northrend, then take the the 2 gold flight to Dalaran. 5. Next to the flight master in Dalaran, there is an Argent Ambassador. He will give you a free flight to the Argent tournament grounds. 6. Take the short run to the Silent vigil area and tame your whelp.

May want to do this before 5.2 when they change respawn time.

Everytime I go in that area I see anywhere from 3 to 5. Yes, you will die often, so try to find one in an area without a bunch of mobs. Good luck.

Commentaire de SFFCorgi

I just had a chilling thought, no pun intended although annoyingly appropriate -- the Whelpling wouldn't happen to be affected by phasing, would it? I've not done Icecrown quests yet, and I know this is keeping me from seeing one of the rare spawns except from the 'taxi'.

How can we test this, any ideas?

Commentaire de tommytom

I believe the spawn rate is going up come patch, but if you cant wait I have made a dk and leveled him to 58 or until where he can leave to org. I then leave org to borean tundra and then take the 2g fp like someone earlier mentioned to Dalaran. I like the DK because he can mount and have a little quicker speed and wont get one shot.

Now everyone says to go to Sindragosa Fall and yes you will find them mostly here, but I used my mount and ran all the way to 73, 50 near the mountains and in this wide open area with no mobs I just had 4 here, and then working up there were more. Since there was no one in the zone I had gotten a green whelp and was satisfied, but noticed there was one more in the open field and said what the heck and it turned out to be a rare.

I tried for hours just at the start of Sindragosa Fall from the argent tourny and just decided to go for a drive lol This open field is where I found a lot of spawns, this was on Ravenholdt RPPVP NA server, just now.

just started this pet batteling about a week ago, after being away from the game a while.leveled and captured up to this expansion, saw a server restart coming and used my tabard to get to the trournament grounds.

after restart i saw one single paw (and 3-4 other campers) i got it, and it was a blue aswell=)

yay

Commentaire de Kittyrue

I just tried Pinkie's solution by creating an alt on a server that doesn't have CRZ and it worked as described: 1:30 a.m. server time on RPPVP server Ravenhold, at least three whelplings with no one there camping. I have been trying for two months to get this little guy; I just got one with thirty minutes worth of effort. Thanks Pinkie!

So ive been searching for this pet for about 3 weeks + on one of my alts.Flying around wathing the mini map.And today I realised I didnt have the track pets option checked, now im sad but this is just a reminder to everyone else, dont be stupid like me, check to see that you have it checked!

TL;DR - The "Daily Respawn Theory" and RPPVP Trick have helped several users catch Jeune dragonnet flaellé."Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around" might help you if the other 2 options don't work for you.(last updated: 2013/04/12) Note: This comment could not exist without the help of fellow Wowheaders. If you see someone's name in hyperlink form, please feel free to click over and upvote their comment as well. :-)___________________________________________________________

Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around (Credits):Syluxx's post on the OwnedCore Forums interested me, because it showed that there might be a way around the much-hated "CRZ." Unfortunately, it wasn't working for most people who tried it his way, so I did some research for about a month and have finally figured out most of the details. :-)

Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around (Summary): Go to the cross-realm zone where the pet you're after can be found, and ask a friend to invite you to a group.

This works best if they are on another realm (preferably low-pop) and you are using Real ID's for the invite, but it can still work if your "friend" is just a guild-mate. (This works especially well if they're on an RPPVP server, but you'll have to create an RPPVP toon just to meet them.)

Your friend must be "your own level or higher." Otherwise, they get moved to your realm instead.

Your friend Should Not be in a CRZ, esp the same CRZ that you are in. My understanding is that the largest/most-active cities (the faction capitals) are not affected by CRZ. A group invite from someone in Hurlevent or Fossoyeuseshould pull you out of the CRZ and back into your own realm-zone. (or their-realm, your-zone in the case of a higher-level Real ID friend from another realm.) (As far as I know, RPPVP servers aren't affected by CRZ, making these friends especially helpful.)

Remember: This doesn't always work perfectly. If your realm is the CRZ-host (still not completely sure exactly how CRZ works), then an invite from a guild-mate probably will not do anything. If Syluxx's CRZ Work-Around doesn't work the first time, choose another friend and try it again.

Finally, "Remember: This doesn't always work perfectly." This is being presented as an alternative to the much more reliable Daily Respawn Theory. If that doesn't work for you, this should eventually, but you may have to try this several times before it finally does work.

After not so long camping I've read the idea of looking on RPPVP Server , so I created a toon on Scarshield EU asked some guys to add me to real id . He invited me so I get ported to his realm , gone to Icecrown and? Tadam! Full area of sweet whelps! Got my rare at 4 try!

Hope youll all get it!

thanks to PinkiePie24 for the clean method, human teen lv1 flying through Northrend with 2 gold coins she got from her DK grandma, both on french server JdR/JcJ (RPPVP) Conseil des Ombres, disappointed at first, no pets around, came back to check the day after and there they were, first one was blue, 3 available off danger at Silent Vigil, main task was to find the mailbox: Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave 55.2 46.4 (not off danger when you never used DK before)

Commentaire de Amarly

I have tried the method of taking a lvl 1 character on an RPPVP server and flying them to the Argent Tourney grounds. On the flight there I saw at least 5 in areas that I could easily run to without death. Upon landing and taking the run, no pets around. I'm 8 deaths in trying to look around some and still see nothing.

Commentaire de Kamilla

Confirmed this works...though being lowbie, some are definitely hard to get to. But I found a couple spawned by either the Silent Vigil or Quel'Delar's Rest. They are far enough away from any monsters that you should be fine. Found a common and poor one.

Commentaire de zarrise

PinkiePie24's plan totally worked. I farmed this thing for a few weeks - all times of the day and night and never saw a single one. Finally caved in and decided that all that work was probably easier than farming. I had to run to the southern tip of the area (and died a lot in the process), but that's where I found mine!

CONFIRMED FOR BUG

25/2/12 (oceanic)

Unfortunately after talking to a GM today about the fact I kept seeing the icons (and battle pets) on multiple characters when flying over, yet they disappeared to no where once i tried to enter the area.

This appears to be in relation to being lucky with one particular quest chain. Yet they have no idea what causes it at this date.

Also mentioned that they are working on it, mentioned a change by next patch but nothing confirmed in regards to this particular NPC, merely they are working on the bug and should hopefully be fixed for next patch.

As of yet I haven't worked out a way to do the /tar engage from a flightpath as the one from Dala appears to go a little too high.

If anyone can add to this with any possible work around and solutions would be great.

Commentaire de Xandarius

Some (hopefully) helpful tips if you are using PinkiePie24's method, which by the way does work.

1) You finish all the beginning things in Acherus, then get the quest to report to Prince Valnarr.2) You report to him, and accept the next quest he offers, then find Orlun the Battlecaller, the valkyr in the small pit, who offers you a quest that pays 2g plus some silver. Accept and do that quest, turn it in and you have your 2g.3) When your lvl 1 toon reaches Dalaran, set your hearthstone there.4) Take the free flight offered to the Argent Tournament Grounds and watch for the paws.5) Once you land, if you saw no paws, heartth back to Dalaran.

You can repeat the free flight to the tournament grounds unlimited times, so you can try at random times between doing other things, like lvling a new alt on your home realm or grinding rep with the Pandaren factions on your lvl 90 toon. Good luck, hope this helps.

Commentaire de fenriskt

with CRZ this pet is horrible to get. i have to wait for crz to go down, get back in before realm reset just to hope to get one, then go through three fight in most cases with the resets leave me under a min and a half. these pets from what i see only come out durring the reset so watch and wait for crz to go down and get in before realm reset it shouldnt be any prob minus the flood of others waiting as well. and with that in mind who cares the rarity as long as you get one : P happy hunting.

Commentaire de Lamor

if you're on the Eitrigg/Rexxar/eldre'thas/Dragonblight/etc server cluster. 9:20 am server time (or 9:20 central) is where its at!

Commentaire de Teevo

So a couple of things as I have immersed myself in the scourged whelpling mess:

- RP/PVP servers ARE apart of crz (http://www.wowwiki.com/US_realm_list_by_datacenter)- This is NOT a quest phasing issue... it is solely due to CRZ- When you fly over using the free flight from the Argent Tourny guy and see a ton of scourged whelps down below.. but then notice they are nowhere to be found when you land and walk/fly over... its because they were up on YOUR realm. Unfortunately, when you land... you are transferred off your realm and onto the datacenter your realm is affiliated with.

I've been working on this one for a few weeks, and will continue to provide info as I come across it. I am curious to see if any of this gets changed with the new patch coming... I doubt it will, I dont consider us that lucky. Nevertheless, my hunt continues.

Commentaire de Catballou

What free flight to the tournament grounds? I've tried talking to the guy that sends you to the ship that flies around there and he won't send me. What other way is there to get to the tourney grounds?

Cathline, the tournament master is sitting on a horse right by the flight master at the Dalaran flight deck. I have verified that he offers unlimited flights to the tournament grounds. Just remember to set your hearth stone to one of the Dalaran inns for easy (and free) access back and forth.

Commentaire de joostnauw

I got this pet just now. About 5 or 6 spawned at around 11:20 (a.m., for the ppl that can't count to 24). server time on EU-Alonsus.

Commentaire de Gabunga

Since there seems to exist some consensus about the appearance of these beasties around server reset time, I thought it might be a good idea to log in today - wednesday being patching day. So I got to Icecrown around 9:45 (which is well before the announced time WoW would go online again) and found... well... nothing at first.

But lo and behold! Out of nowhere pops a green paw! And even better: there's no-one around to snatch it away, so I can actually engage the dratted thing in battle. It's a grey one, but hey - who cares? Everyone who checks out this page can understand how elated I felt when I finally managed to cage the little bugger.

Now my first pet took some damage in the process and died halfway through one of the cockroaches that accompanied my whelpling (yes, I had already started to consider it mine...), but that's OK (I thought) because I have two more blue level 25's slotted. The other cockraoch-and-a-half would be taken care of, no problem.

And then these terrible words appeared on my screen: Battle finished.

It took me a few seconds to actually grasp the horrible meaning of those two words.

Battle finished.

I lost my whelpling. I felt like this other chap must have felt after losing some jewellery... My precious whelpling! And I had no idea what just happened. So I hit <shift-P> to find that somewhere in the process of patching the machine (or the process - I don't see any logic in blaming someone in particular...) had decided to unslot two of my pets. Now as a rule I am a very calm person. You know, balanced. My response to this situation, however, was... well... let's just say 'somewhat uncharacteristic' and leave it at that.

Now of course there's a lesson to be learned here: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR PETS FIRST! Please do yourself a favour and learn this lesson from my experience rather than your own...

P.S.: less han two minutes later I found another one and bagged it. I'm back to my calm collected self now. Yay for the Northrend Safari Achievement!

Commentaire de beanee70

I don't believe the issue is crz or server restarts is the issue.. After hearthing using the argent tabard many times and getting nothing with a toon that is loremaster - i took a toon that never did any quests in ice crown. The last server restart was 7am. I saw like nine of them at 10pm.

Commentaire de Furbzz

Post 5.2

If you are trying to catch one after various restarts etc on a CRZ server; the problem you might see is that CRZ realm is down (if you get past the world server is down etc for northrend).

This means the sindragosa's fall will most likely be empty and devoid all mobs, don't worry about relogging or swapping toons or anything though as eventually the respawns will pop up.

The area becomes packed again and all the whelp paws are up for action, with the 5.2 changes re: battle pets managed to take a couple of pet bandages and after I got my poor, farm around looking for a rare without despawning mobs for other players.

Took about 5mins after a restart and I got my northrend safari, a poor, a uncommon and a rare. The uncommon and rare of different breeds, with the uncommon having more HP (1260 vs 1423 - both at 21 captured) but the rare having much higher speed(216 vs 176). Planning to use a stone on the uncommon if I decide the HP necessary.

Good luck!

Commentaire de mek002

Commentaire de Raelene

*I would like to share this story for those farming this lil bugger*:, I have been camped in Icecrown for over a week trying to find my Rare.The spawn rate has been 1-2 every 15-20 minutes and I would do this for about 3 hrs at a time at all times day and night. I have had an uncommon that I grabbed the first day it had 1426 hp's at lvl 21, I have not seen ONE (gray, white or uncommon) with higher.

So I continued my search for the rare until until today, at reset, I logged in to find about 10 of them and the 5th one I encountered was my RARE! I was super exited ...however .. I used a pet with poison and sadly killed it but NOT before noticing that a lvl 23 (rare) it only had 1043hp's ..( A lil fact that I failed to mention was the I had an undead battlestone sitting in my bag in the event I never saw my rare). In my mind was I was happy I found the rare and the long wait was over so I used the stone on my uncommon and dropped it down to a lvl 19 but still has better stats than the Rare lvl 23. It still has 1397 at lvl 19.So now I have my rare from an uncommon and it's a welcomed addition to the 2 other members of his team Dark Phoenix Hatchling and Restless Shade to complete my Dark Team!

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

Commentaire de Dorren

I finally got one of these guys today!I was on my way to ToC to two-man the Beasts of Northrend, when my friend said in chat that he was in a pet battle with a Scourged Whelpling. I was in disbelief, but when I caught up with him, there were FIVE Scourged Whelplings out and about.The first one I engaged was a rare (HUZZAH!), and I didn't engage any more after I caught it.

The only way I can rationalize this stroke of luck was because I had invited my friend (same realm) from the Shrine of Two Moons, which typically isn't a CRZ. So since I was the leader and the "anchor" in a sense, I must have phased my friend into the actual realm-version of Icecrown instead of the CRZ version.

However, we tried this with the Minfernal with no luck.

I hope all you fellow tamers have the best of luck hunting this rare pet!

Commentaire de Llukard

Well, I don't know if this will work for others, but worked for me. I arrived from work and after crafting the cooldowns on some of my chars I decided to give it a try. I took my tinker gnome rogue (since it has the and took him to the area. Of course, it was already about 7:10pm PCT and there were non spawning in the area (and a couple horde were also flying around, so I suppose they were also checking).The only scourge whelpings were the NPC ones with about 10-12k hp (red flagged).... but not even one pet to tame. Since the pet and the npc were named the same, I decided to start "clearing out" a bit the area in hopes that they shared the spawner. Since it was just 1 hit with the ranged weapon, I also killed some of the other mobs (easy g from the loot). After like 5 minutes, I saw that there was a newly spawned Scourge battle pet... got into a pet battle and voila... my new scourged is in my pet list. I was also really lucky because it was of rare quality (not bad for first attempt), so I didn't checked any longer if they were spawning more or not. Hopefully this will work for others too without having to wait for server restarts. :)

Commentaire de Organthrone

Logged on (EU) Thunderhorn at about 10:30am server time, and I found one right next to me, just above Quel'Delar's Rest. Captured it, poor, still happy. Flew down Sindragosa's Rest, and there were about four or five fluttering around. Ironically, it's one of the only instances where I've not seen any other players around. Rather than hunt out a rare (got a battle-stone in case I ever want to make it so), I left them for others to discover. I'm nice like that.

Commentaire de Noobheart

I was scared before I went to hunt one of these. I read comments on here and everyone was saying how they have been trying to get one for weeks and I knew that I didn't want to wait that long. I decided to go ahead and check for one of these bad boys anyway and i found one almost instantly. It was uncommon and I was so excited. I flew around a bit more and later found another that was poor quality, so I left him there for another lucky pet hunter to get. Good luck to all the pet hunters out there trying to catch one of these guys. CRZ gives us a lot of competition so I wish the best!

Commentaire de EdenandEros

Don't know if they fixed the spawn rate of these pets; but I got on my pally (I'm on a PvP realm and wasn't in a party). Flew over to Icecrown. Went to Sindragosa's Fall. Went to look right where the "o" of Sindragosa's Fall lands on the map. There was a whelp there. Poor quality. Flew a little south and ran into another one, green quality. This was server time 11:30 PM, on a Wednesday. I'm on Korgath. I guess I got lucky?

Commentaire de Tinychi

I just wanted to put this out there in case it might help someone else. I have read in multiple places about how hard this pet is to get and how people never see spawns. I only had level 16 pets (Relentless Shadeling, Onyxian Whelpling, Infinite Whelpling) and thought I'd cruise up there just to check it out and see if one was up. So, it was up. It was just a gray and my pets owned it. Next day, a green, my pets were level 18. Then tonight another green...captured him and immediately another spawned, a rare. I won't be going back now.

I'm on Moonrunner-US. I have never seen anyone else in the area. I have found all three spawns to the very north. So if you have the heart to then roll a DK on Moonrunner and go check it out. I've seen them all in the late evening/night. It's now 12:45 am and I just got my rare about 20 minutes ago.

Commentaire de pandalove421

I recommend going at off-hours instead of camping. I managed to find a common quality one just south of Quel'Delar's rest at approximately 2:30am server time on a Monday, right before server reset; no camping, no hassle, no competition.

Commentaire de spawnova

Got a poor one right after dailies reset, glad to finally get one.

Commentaire de TevishSzat

There's a lot of talk about how to get one of these little guys without freezing your rear off just camping Icecrown for hours on end (though it seems to no longer be quite so terrible), but little talk about what you actually get.

First of all, these guys come in two breeds: Power/Speed or Health/Health, In general, I prefer my pets to have power and more power so the P/S breed would be superior. However, if you get a H/H whelpling and don't want to farm for ANOTHER one, you could build it specifically to maximize tanking ability.

The Scourged Whelpling has no unique moves, but it does have a unique move SET. Your choice for ability #1 is either Shadowflame or Tail Sweep. Even P/S whelplings are quite slow (and H/H builds are among the slowest battle pets in the game... there are slower, but not many) so I for one would always choose Tail Sweep.

Move #2 is either Call Darkness or Death and Decay, each of which is super-effective on an uncommon type (Dragonkin or humanoids), but which are otherwise very different moves. Even after the nerf it suffered, I'm a big fan of Call Darkness, but oddly I'd say I favor Death and Decay for the whelpling. The why of that should become apparent shortly

Lastly, Move #3 is Plagued Blood or Dreadful Breath. This is the deciding point of your build. If you pick Plagued Blood, you are a tank. You want to do as many hits as possible to get as much healing as possible, which means Death and Decay and Tail Sweep are practically mandatory, though one could excuse Call Darkness if particularly fearful of enemy dragonkin. The other option, Dreadful Breath, is about equivalent to the much more common Whirlwind, but trades the 3 turn cooldown for being forced into the same move for 3 turns. Unless you can set it up with Cleansing Rain for extra damage, it's a rather weak use of turns, which means if you're rolling with Dreadful Breath you want to avoid Call Darkness, because that would lose your Cleansing Rain weather. Again, Death and Decay is somewhat favored over its high damage alternative.

On its own, this is a "Cool" pet rather than a "Useful" pet: a half decent tank, but nothing to write home about on the battle front. But then you start to optimize a team around it...

And what you get is a very hard to kill team: The strider applies Soothe and then Cleansing Rain, letting you switch in the whelpling against a sleeping foe, at which point Dreadful Breath with extra damage begins to melt the entire enemy team while Death and Decay rots the front pet. the Idol is one of the better tanks in the game: though it clears the Cleansing Rain, it's also nearly invulnerable on its own and can quite easily win pet battles through pure attrition, which will be easier thanks to the massive backline damage the Whelpling will be doing.

Commentaire de 1Palv

I believe the spawn frequency has been changed. When I got mine, it was right after a server reset, and several people were camping the area. Other than right after server reset, I never saw them.

Last night, I flew over the area and saw many whelpings and no one was camping them. I even stopped and fought one--poor quality, so I didn't capture it.

Now, to check and see if Minfernals have also had the spawn rate adjusted...

Commentaire de catastrophile

I understand that this could be a fluke, but I want to share the experience I just had.

This was the last pet I needed for Safari au Norfendre, and I had never even seen it, but I was in the area and thought I'd hang out for a few and see if it spawned. Once I had run out of nodes to gather, I just started running around slaughtering the Frostbrood Whelps, and whatever unfortunate cultists got in my way.

Within ten minutes I saw two green paws. I told a friend to hurry over and grab one, but somebody else showed up to claim the second one. Once I'd captured mine, I scouted around a bit and quickly found a third.

I can't be positive that slaughtering the mobs caused three of these pets to suddenly spawn, but it certainly didn't hurt.

Commentaire de Hellscream69

I've found 8 AT A TIME! It was around 23:10, I was flying as always to check if there is any and... found one (uncommon). I've fast tamed him, then saw next one! That was rare! I've tamed him too, then i saw next and next and next! Some was uncommon, some was rare, saw common too.

They were all 23 lvl, aquatic pets are good for hunting them, their team mates are always cockroach (23 lvl too).

Commentaire de grodon909

I found two of them while passing by Icecrown today (decided I might as well check while I was in the area, its the same reason I got a minfernal). Anyways, once I caught the first one, I wanted to tell my guidlies, but no one was on. I then found another one, and none of my guildies were online to see it. I went into /1 and announced that there was a scoruged whelping flying around. It took a good 3 or so minutes before I even got a reply.

The moral of my story here is that it may be worth it to check how many of your guildmates are online, or check /who. A decreased population means that less people are present to capture a whelpling, i.e more whelpings for everyone!

Commentaire de Enthorn

I am fairly certain the spawn frequency was changed on this companion. I had never gone out to look for it, but I needed it for Safari au Norfendre. Ironically, the last pet I captured was an Proto-dragonnet émeraude which I camped for an hour and a half (with several others also patiently waiting) before any of us saw even one. Here I was reading the comments for Scourged Whelpling and it seemed an even worse wait. But alas, I flew over once and there it was. I swooped down eagerly and grabbed a grey.

Then I saw another one, so I told my wife I would hold it for her while she logged in. As she flew toward Sindragosa's Fall, I sat engaged with a green. Then she said never mind, she found another one and she captured it -- a grey, but her first as well. So I promptly captured my second. Then she said she was going to look for a rare. I told her not to bother, being a rare spawn. A second later she exclaimed, "Hah! Got one!" Lo and behold, another had spawned and it was her rare.

We both captured four of these -- two greys, a green, and a rare -- in the span of no more than ten minutes.

If you are on Gilneas or happen to be able to confirm you are on the same CRZ, this should be able to give you a time frame for when the whelps will spawn.

I am guessing that I got lucky. I flew to Dalaran and then flew to the Sindragosa's rest area. I started at the bottom and by the time I had flew half way through I found two of the whelps together. One was a level 22 breed 8 rare and the other was a level 22 breed 6 common. Good luck to everyone who is searching for these. They were found at 73.01 \ 38.39.

I just got this one on a Friday night at 7:45 p.m. After flying around the whole spawn area and not seeing any, I killed a few Frostbrood Whelps, and sure enough, the Scourged Whelpling spawned. May just be a coincidence, but I don't think so.

I've been trying to get this pet since they came out and finally saw my first one yesterday. I checked my pets real quick to make sure they were the right level when some jackass came up and clicked on it. I'm guessing it wasn't a rare because they killed it...

Well today I went to look sure that I wouldn't find any when I came across a lone whelpling, checked my pets and clicked it. RARE. So take that karma all you selfish &*!@#es and stop killing them if they're not rare so other people can get one.

I play on Sporeggar EU RPPVP. I have looked in Sindragosa's Fall twice during 5.4, and both times there have been loads of whelplings. I have never seen another farmer, but I have yet to get a rare (despite now having 3 rare Cockroaches, which are their backline pets). I don't know why I see them and so few other people have, but the threads on this page MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. EDIT- I just saw the 4th rare cockroach, but still no rare whelpling :(

I don't know if I'm lucky this time but, I was passing by and I didn't even know this pet was rare.Just fought one and he was a rare quality, funny thing is that always when you don't go after something it goes after you.

Good lucky in your hunt :D

These UNDEAD Scourged Whelps will come back to life for 1 round if you kill them but will die after that round so you have 1 last shot to capture them. Backline pets seem to all be Cockroaches (CRITTERS) so line up your pets accordingly.(use Beasts or Humanoids for fastest kills)

Got mine around 10pm my time (so about 4am server time/PST). The area was full of the frostbrood whelps so I went around and slaughtered as many as I could. After going from one end to the other, I flew back and lo and behold a single scourged whelpling spawned! I managed an uncommon on this spawn of the P/S variety. I was happy enough with this. I really want to use him as my main undead, my other is the eye of the legion which has been really 'meh', so I'm hoping to get a hold of an undead stone to turn him rare. Now just to get a rare type infected squirrel >:)

I play on EU TwistingNether Horde, 3 days in a row killing every little creature that even takes a look in that dirrection in IC on the spawn areas, nothing, just got 1 today spawned after bringing mayhem to the poor creatures that roam around those places.

XD Also this is my very first POST on Wowhead, been playing WOW since week 3 Vanilla, when it was launched in my country but never posted anything :D !

Commentaire de Busaturbo

Are these really that rare ? I went today to search for them and there was loads all over the place ? I battled about 10 until i found a rare quality one and was still loads left to fight. Server Frostwhisper EU maybe because the server is pretty dead who knows.

Edit: Same story with Snowy Owl

Commentaire de tempovision

Kill frostbrood whelps really helps. I flew around 5 times, no scourged whelps around. I killed all the frostbrood whelps, one scourged was there when i returned.

Commentaire de Shivacode

I don't understand the hubbub. These aren't really rare at all. Trying to find a rare for them is a pain, but they seem to always be up and respawn quickly.

PS vs HH breed info of a Scourged Whelpling for those intending to Death and Decay + Plagued Blood, then backline the pet or Tail Swipe.

I did some testing with an Uncommon level 21 HH and an Uncommon level 21 PS. The question to answer was "Does Plagued Blood healing scale with power?" and "If so, is PS better than HH for the extra healing or not?"

First of all, Plagued Blood does scale with power. Some people have pointed out that it scales with level, but by using a level 21 HH and PS of the same quality, I was able to conclude that it does also scale with power. (and since power goes up with level, it might only be scaling with power, who knows)

PSAverage heal on Tail Swipe hit: 47.9Average heal on DnD hit: 46.47

HHAverage heal on Tail Swipe hit: 50.45Average heal on DnD hit: 50.88

These numbers are based off of roughly 50 procs of the heal, which I carefully recorded in a spreadsheet to calculate the averages.

Important to know:The healing is based off the power behind Plagued Blood and has nothing to do with the power of the attack used to proc the heal. I figured this out by running the test a second time, but using HH's Plagued Blood and PS's attacks, then vice-versa with PS's Plagued Blood and HH's attacks. What matters is the power of the pet throwing Plagued Blood out. More power = more healing.

This means that PS will heal for about 8.5% more per heal. But is that better than the extra health of an HH breed? At level 21 Uncommon, it would take 63 procs of the heal for the PS to heal for as much extra health as the HH breed has. This is because at level 21, the HH has 252 more health and the PS is only getting 4 more hp per heal. So 252/4 = 63 needed procs. With backlining this pet, you only get 1 proc per turn off the DnD, so it would take 63 turns before the PS came out equal to the HH breed. If you didn't backline him to get an extra 2 procs off a double hitting Tail Swipe, it would still take the entire match to come out even.

On the flip side, a Tail Swipe hitting harder with more power behind it is nasty and this is the argument for getting a PS breed. The added speed is bad since it means Tail Swipe won't hit twice if you're faster, but the good news is that even with the PS breed, you'll still be slower than most opponents. With 97 level 25's, zero of my magic pets were over the 257 speed mark of a PS Scourged Whelpling (which is what Tail Swipe is super-effective against).

As far as healing goes, the HH breed wins by a long shot. It comes down to if you want this pet to tank and heal as HH, backline to heal and deal damage with DnD as HH, or burn down a magic pet with a PS breed.

Did they buff the spawn rate on this guy or something? Everybody is talking about hunting and camping for it. I just used the tournament tabard and caught three of these to cap, all right next to each-other. Took, like, five minutes. >_>

Commentaire de Arfor

Captured one just today on my way to do the Major Payne daily, he was next to the mountains so check that out, beat a tauren to it just by a few inches, almost killed him with a crit but fortunately got to capture it during its undead round, good luck everyone, and remember to check the area during your daily.

Commentaire de Oktex

I think I was lucky, caught my rare after about 3 battles.

Commentaire de Skyplus

I got very lucky, I'm on a high populated realm, sylvanas eu. Went to 72.2, 37.6, got there 1 minute late and found one. Wasn't rare, however.

Commentaire de Meeqs

Jean-Pierre, who is the Argent Commander that gives you the free flight to the Argent Tournament, no longer does the aforementioned. Instead, you're going to have to use the crystal to be teleported down to the Violet Hold and walk all the way to the scourged whelplings. It's a very long journey and you WILL die multiple times but it's definitely much more efficient than camping the area for hours, or even days. This comment is referring to PinkiePie's strategy for catching a scourged whelpling.

Commentaire de Mandams

Seems like with WoD the spawns were greatly increased.At 8 am I flew over to the Argent Tournament and I saw a dozen spawns.

Commentaire de Grayy

I see a lot of posts on here about how people can't find this pet and I thought it was really odd because I think I remember them being all over the place, but it was a long time ago. So I logged on my engineer and took a look. I found three just poking around for 10 minutes at about 9:30pm server time.

So I'm not sure if I'm just really really lucky or if they aren't really so 'rare' just just an odd spawn timer or what.

Commentaire de Akefia1

When I caught mine, I didn't even realize they were so hard to find. I must have been lucky because I came across a green one randomly as I flew overhead. Now looking at the posts makes me realize how lucky I was to even find one when I wasn't even looking for it.

Commentaire de meldrasbb

They must have really increased the spawn rate on these. I went to Sindragosa's Falls area around 70,42 and captured 3 and still saw several others flying around.
